- This is a great chance to learn about howthe academic systems in other countries work. I know some of the differences, but I'm sure there are so many I haven't figured out yet!

I plan on asking many questions, to the professors I observe, to the program instructors, and to the students. I will write down what I learn, to remember it.Goal 3 - Really get to know the culture

In the U.S., I will have the opportunity to talk to a lot of people. I will get to learn from experience how normal people in the U.S. actually live. I bet it's very different from what I see on TV!

I will make sure to participate fully in every activity.?Goal 4 - Record my experience

I want to be able to remember the things I learn, and share them with my family and friends when I get back home. I plan to take lots of pictures, and write down all the important things that happen in a special journal I will bring to the U.S. with me. Goal 5 - Make connections

I hope I can make many new friends through this experience. International connections are important in this global world!The EndThanks for watching!This is going to be great!
